Big questions have come to me as the New Year 2013 begins. Who am I now, at this time in my life? What value or significance can I leave as a legacy or a mark that I was here? How can I balance BE-ing in a spiritual sense with my call to DO-ing on the human level? Big questions ... and thank goodness I am at a point when I have some time and energy to do something with the questions on a personal and professional level.
Let me start with the BE-ing. I have given up the idea that my worth and value are based on anything I have to do - same for every other human being. We have worth and value because we exist. Without putting any religious context around it, we are pure energy, we are loved, we are love. What a wonderful thing to feel peace and acceptance in that state of being.
At the same time, my life would be pretty dull without a purpose that allows me to touch other people in positive, healing, and joyful ways. For me the activities of coaching and working with people who are dealing with changes and challenges in life have given me a purpose and expansion. If I'm going to be busy, I choose to be busy in meaningful work - meaningful to me and for others.
This year I am going to volunteer in support of a cause that is much bigger than myself. This project will inspire passion and purpose in ways I can't even imagine at the beginning, but I know that will happen.
This year I am Taking Charge - and Getting a Move on in a totally different way. Why not? It's a brand new year. Anyone care to join me?
Love and light to all,
Diane
